RE: Tape Rotation Schedule ?

   We use a 3590 as well. That's the way we did it when I came her= e over 3
   years ago and we'll probably keep doing it. That would definitely = help
   our restores. I just ran a query to see what percent of objects are sa   ved 
with the SAVCHGOBJ in one of the heavily used libraries and I saved
   428= objects since our full save last week - 3,014 objects have not been
   change= d. So in our case we may be better off with savchgobj....

   WOW - that is= a LONG retention Chris. We tried that SAVCHGOBJ route where
   I
   used to w= ork (a BPCS shop). We would do the SAVLIB on the first day of
   the
   week a= nd then the SAVCHGOBJ the other days. By day THREE we were
   basically
   sav= ing everything we would have with the SAVLIB ! We couldn't BELIVE
   that
   m= any objects were getting "touched" on a daily basis. So we scrapped
   that<BR= >and went with SAVLIB. Made the restore process easier. Of course
   we had a<= BR>3590 tape drive that SCREAMED.

   We do keep monthly and yearly back= ups permanently.

   What tape drive are you folks using ?

   Thanks= ,
